It's always interesting to read Utahans complain about traffic.

Surely not as bad as Houston, but it's gotten noticably worse over the last

Hypnotoad

And by Houston, I mean Harlem, or wherever you live.

I agree. Utah has been going through an awkward phase.

Sticker shock. I got a great deal on my home and my interest rate is 3.65.

Ah. Superkid is right. SLC-Provo corridor is getting too crowded

Yeah. I could go the other direction and get a great deal on a home in Eagle

The point is that Utah County parking should not be a problem. Yet it is

Why shouldn't parking be a problem? Parking/traffic is the ultimate urban planning problem. The most often repeated

Not traffic. Parking... Or specifically the irresponsible lack of parking in new

He's talking about parking. With traffic, people are in the car.

It's a problem. In cities like NYC you have viable mass transit

I disagree that limited parking is a problem.

Seems like at some point suburbs (and cities planned like suburbs) transition to high-density cities, if

Eventually growing cities have to add density

Yeah, SLC proper is currently getting ruined. They are pushing all families out.

They would become San Francisco or Seattle if the State let them.
